This thread is for discussing the incident/downtime. Please take general complaints to the appropriate thread, they will not get any responses here.

The site is back online, and we expect there to be no further downtime as a result of this incident. We apologise for how long the downtime was, and we are glad to be back!

A full explanation is written below, but there is a tl;dr at the end for those who are not interested in the details.

Excuse my autism, but I've noticed posters sometimes seem to mix up the following terms. I see this on other websites, too. This is understandable, since the terms are vague and not widely known.

These are subjective to some degree, but here is how I personally define them.

Samefagging

This is a general term for deceptive posting. It can mean the following things:

- Taking on more than one persona in a thread to make it seem like your view has wider support than it actually does. This is also called sockpuppeting. May involve replying to your own posts agreeing with yourself, or significantly changing writing style to make it seem like a different person is also giving similar positive or negative remarks. Particularly dedicated samefags may try to use a different IP address as well.

- Making multiple posts back-to-back, without obvious indication they were all made by you. This is not always deceptive, though is often annoying.

- May also apply to general false or omitted self-identification. For example, if the subject of a /pt/ thread started secretly and anonymously posting in her own thread to disagree with people or defend herself, this may also be called samefagging. There may be a better term for this, but if there is, I'm not yet aware of it.


Self-posting

Posting about yourself in any way, whether anonymous or self-identifying. For example: posting a picture of yourself, linking to your own profiles, giving excessive details about your life, etc. Self-posts are completely acceptable in some threads and some contexts, but they usually are frowned upon otherwise. You shouldn't try to make yourself stand out on an anonymous board. Valid spellings also include self posting and selfposting.


Vendetta / vendettafag / vendetta-posting

Posting about someone as if you are a random person who happens to dislike them, when in reality you have some sort of personal connection or grudge. Often involves samefagging. Generally has no relation to self-posting, except in cases of self-victimization. In cases where you present the chan with an implicit or explicit "call to action", to further your vendetta, this is also called a personal army (PA) request. It often involves misleading or deceptive information.

An example of a vendetta post would be arguing with a girl on social media, and later posting a thread calling her a whore. Asking people to send things to her parents, or falsely claiming she's violated some site's terms of service and requesting people report her, or including her address and phone number in the post, would be a vendetta post as well as a personal army request.

NTA but anon lmao you just write the word "sage" in the email field, between the name and subject fields. You do this when you're in /pt/, /w/, /snow/, and celebricows in /ot/ when you're not posting milk.

No. 87305

Not entirely sure if this falls under the category of terminology but I think this might be the best thread to have my question answered.
So in the new friend finder thread in /g/ the guidelines suggest adding
>contact
And I'm a little confused by it considering that anonymity is still highly enforced. What do they mean by contact and what are names/tags(?) given under it?
I'd ask in the thread but in fear of looking like a newfag, I'd rather come here.

They ban in meta pretty often now. Don't forget that movie thread anon got permabanned last summer for posting in meta. And now they allow certain anons to basically personalityfag and start infights here. Only the nonas responding to it will get banned.

>>82779
Admin needs to clarify the definition of these words then, because speculation and normal discussion is no longer even tolerated in many threads. If the janny were at least consistent and would ban the anons who start infights or post retarded ad hominems and non-con wk posts, then it would at least seem less biased. I'd rather read anons speculating than have some rule that everything a cow says is automatically the truth. Tinfoil is speculation without any foundation at all, it's batshit crazy crap, not normal use of powers of deduction.

>>82777
I also think talking about cow threads being 'necessary' or not is pretty weird. There isn't a finite amount of resources. Don't like a thread? Don't read it. It's silly to expect an entire imageboard to change because you don't like some thread or you personally like the cow. I don't get why this is hard, there are so many threads I think are boring or nitpicky or mean; I just don't read them or get involved.
It just seems like you want to minimod what anyone talks about - why? Genuine question, do you like any thread on LC? What's a "good" cow thread to you?

Being notified of a ban that's expired only after you try to make another post is really stupid. Why would you even be notified at all only after its expired anyway? It looks like it's a way for mods to just show off banning you because this is retarded design.

I'm sorry it had to come to this. I've tried my best since coming on board as admin but the honest truth is that I underestimated the work it takes just to keep lolcow running, not to mention the intensity of raids this year. I thought I could get it done while dealing with my job and personal life too but I was wrong and had to realise that I can't give this community what it needs. A lot of volunteers have stepped forward, so I'm positive that we'll find a great new team. If you want to apply as admin or moderator, email administration@lolcow.farm or join the discord linked in the navigation bar. The hidden board can be accessed through there now since there were complaints about the posting traffic.

The migration to an updated software is still most likely going to proceed, but for now our focus is to find a new admin and more farmhands. Timezones outside of North America will get priority.

This stands as a tribute to how far this place has fallen.
Gc and terf shit was always banned BEFORE oldmin precisely because … gestures vaguely at the state of the site That and sperging about moids instead of concentrating on milk and cows.
Most people hated oldmin for a whole lot of reasons but the stuff about boohoo muh gendershit is 100% retcon retardation. There was a handful of obsessive autists who desperately wanted to make this place manhate / gc. It didn't work so they went and made their own board. It lasted a while and is now basically the same half dozen spergs checking in. So they came back here and went back to harrassing staff until they finally got what they wanted.

It's funny how there's always at least one perpetually victimized anon on /meta/ insisting that lolcow has fallen because of manhate and gender criticism. Why would you want to coddle male/tranny feelings this hard? Are you personally affected? Men and their actions specially troons can be as cowish as anyone else. Cope harder.

80% of that thread is just one autistic anon replying to every single post with a wall of text and getting mad when people don't agree with her covid vaccination opinion.

This thread is for discussing the results of the Jan 22 - Feb 5 Hellweek of 2024.

It was requested in the original Hellweek thread that we provide some statistics, so we've spent some time putting together a spreadsheet with some stats which you can access here! Please note that the spreadsheet has 2 pages which you can switch using the tabs at the bottom. The first page is statistics about users, and the second page is statistics specifically about moderation.

For those who don't have the time to read that, here is a brief overview (the spreadsheet has more detailed information):
>Total posts
27775
>Total reports
3165
>Unique posting IPs
8005
>Unique posting devices

I saw someone a few weeks ago asking if admins posted any statistics of bans pre and post the dumbass shit thread autosage, and honestly I would be very interested in seeing it. The autosage was supposed to cut back on newfaggotry and infighting, but as far as I can see, there's still a lot of both in /ot/. There's also the issue of anons posting off-topic things in other threads that would typically go into the dumbass shit thread, which for some reason doesn't seem to get banned most of the time. And the mods nowadays frequently bend to the wants/demands newfags, so it's incredibly unclear what direction you guys are trying to take.

Please understand. There are no chat platforms with an archive function and also screen recording software doesn’t exist. So they just can’t I’m sorry. It’s for our own good.

>As for why other threads are not locked or autosaged, we have discussed as a team whether or not to close the worst offenders (e.g. Unpopular Opinions) and we’re still keeping an eye on it. We aren’t ruling out closing them in the near future if things do not improve.
So are we ever going to get an update on this? Or any updates literally at all
